Typesetting exercises: the exercise package
===========================================
The package helps to typeset exercises or list of exercises within any
document.
Exercises, questions, sub-questions are automatically numbered. It is
possible to put answers in the same document, and display them
immediately, later in the document or not at all.
The layout of exercise is fully customisable. It is then possible to typeset
long problems, short exercises, questionnaires, etc.
Usage of the babel package is detected, but not fully supported by now
(only english and french are implemented). See documentation for more
information.

ex­er­cise – Type­set ex­er­cises, prob­lems, etc. and their an­swers

The pack­age helps to type­set ex­er­cises or list of ex­er­cises
within any doc­u­ment.

Ex­er­cises, ques­tions and sub-ques­tions are au­to­mat­i­cally num­bered.
It is pos­si­ble to put an­swers in the same doc­u­ment, and dis­play
them im­me­di­atly, later in the doc­u­ment or not to print an­swers at
all.

The lay­out of ex­er­cises is fully cus­tomis­able. It is
pos­si­ble to type­set long prob­lems, short ex­er­cises,
ques­tion­naires, etc.

Usage of the ba­bel pack­age is de­tected,
but not fully sup­ported yet (only English and French are im­ple­mented).
